User:502hsuya

502hsuya (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

I looked into this image (File:Pong Dam, Himachal Pradesh.jpg) because it was in a upper category and I was trying to organize things. This image was added to en:Pong Dam by User:3502hsuya, but when I checked on Google Maps it was a different dam. If he had taken the photo himself, he wouldn't have made a mistake in the article he used it for. I thought this user was very suspicious, so I then looked into this file (File:View of Indian Institute if Advanced Studies (Rashtrapati Niwas) over Observatory Hill.jpg), and it was a copied and cropped file. Considering the probability, it's likely that all of his other files are also copied. Therefore, I suggest blocking this user and deleting all of his files. Looking at User_talk, several files have already been deleted. --Voncercue (talk) 07:34, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

@Phillipedison1891: please notify users when you report them here. I've done it for you this time. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 14:04, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Done. Yann warned Itatiram. In my opinion currently that's enough. Taivo (talk) 16:55, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Protect Template:Cc-by-4.0 Liliana Avizzano Cicala

Please apply template protection to this license template, for cc-by-4.0 authorization via ticket:2026051610004328. Thanks, Arrow303 (talk) 14:48, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

It is not facing vandalism, so I don't see a need to protect it

e.g. Template:WikiRantau CC BY-SA 4.0 isn't protected Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 15:42, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused I was teached to always ask template editor protection for license templates with VRTS ticket that I create as permissions agent, that's why i asked Arrow303 (talk) 16:31, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Done @Whyiseverythingalreadyused VRT issued license templates must be protected to avoid distortions, hence abuse of the given permission. This is done using the rationale: File licensing template. Best, Ruthven (msg) 19:57, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Block request for User:Chongqing Apple Store

en:WP:LTA/BMX. SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 00:15, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Done. This is self-confessed vandal, so I do not see reason not to block. Taivo (talk) 14:43, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Protection request for File:チャオ・ニウ東京作家、映画監督、音楽家.jpg

Can an administrator protect the file from recreation after deleting it? The Chao Niu LTA has returned again Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 00:57, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

And also File:チャオ・ニウ.jpg and File:チャオ・ニウ東京作家、映画監督、音楽家.jpg for good measure

the file title in the section title has an extra space between the・and ニ (ni); I don't want the LTA to come back and remember to upload at the space-free title Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 02:54, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Done. Abzeronow (talk) 04:35, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

LTA Sockpuppet Nemine2X2X2

This is a globally locked LTA from English Wikipedia, however he's continuing to edit here whilst the Meta lock goes through (it's been a couple of days). Can you please block locally as he's also sockpuppeted over here on Commons? The original account is Jaredryandloneria. Blue-Sonnet (talk) 18:07, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Protection request for File:Unit 731 victim.jpg

I have provided the primary source book for the photograph and revised the caption, but it has been repeatedly rejected on the grounds that it is an article from Chinese state media that lacks academic evidence. I would like to reach an agreement through discussion, so I request that you protect this photograph from editing. I have also requested that the photograph's title be revised. Rosemeyer2022 (talk) 22:40, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Done User blocked for using Commons as a propaganda platform. Please read en:Unit 731. Yann (talk) 10:24, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Done. I protected the file for a year and declined unblock request. Taivo (talk) 20:29, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

Spammer pretending to be connected to the UK government Home Office. Belbury (talk) 11:42, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Done Indef., file deleted. Yann (talk) 11:59, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Sent to m:SRG. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 13:09, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

By the way, that user has an open unblock request that fundamentally denies the reason for their block; any uninvolved admins interested in denying it and deleting their TPA? Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 13:24, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

I see Taivo did the first part lol Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 13:28, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Please unblock Rosemeyer2022

So far there doesn't seem to have been any good faith effort to actually engage or respond to the user's file move request beyond at him. AGF have not been followed at all. If there is doubt about a file renaming request the proper action is to start a discussion about it, not just casually throwing accusations and insults towards the user as Yann and Taivo have been doing

He might have been edit warring but since Yann went out of his way to avoid listing that as the block reason, that is clearly not the reasoning behind the block--Trade (talk) 14:51, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, but no. The last edit is just trolling, and shows that I was right. Yann (talk) 15:03, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

...Which happened after you repeatedly refused to AGF from the user and after Taivo kept casting aspersions towards the user and after Whyiseverythingalreadyused were making trolling comments towards him

Again, the policies about civility is supposed to go both ways. Not just a way for older editors to bash new editors with Trade (talk) 18:51, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

As for the "I was right", not once did you actually actually addressed or engaged with anything he said meaning we have no way of even knowing if what he said was true or not Trade (talk) 18:57, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Rosemeyer2022 is just trolling, and you fell in. Sorry, but I give zero good faith to a user who repeatedly pretends that large-scale biological and chemical warfare research, as well as lethal human experimentation by Unit 731 is epidemic prevention. That's Historical negationism, and it can't be accepted on Commons. Yann (talk) 19:10, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Yann's block is perfectly justified. If this user comes back with his disgusting POV pushing he should be blocked indef as an SPA/nothere. Geoffroi 00:32, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

I have no idea what Trade is thinking. If anything comes out of this report, they need to be reprimanded for assisting in historical negationism. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 06:38, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

Request protection "User talk:Rastinition"

I have posted a similar report on wikidata:Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard#Request_protection_"User_talk:Rastinition", briefly mentioning the key point: "I am being harassed by certain individuals across multiple projects, and they have recently continued the harassment by editing my talk page." Rastinition (talk) 02:15, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

I've blanked 3 examples of this LTA's vandalism on ms.wiki that mentioned your username. Geoffroi 03:41, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
